Ask HN: How can I address confirmation bias on HN?
I view this as something worth being concerned about, given the frequency of high-profile conspiracy theories spread on social media (though predominantly Facebook). I think HN's capacity for conspiracy theories is significantly lower than something like Facebook, where groups of like-minded people are encouraged at small scales, but an echo chamber on any scale will have an adverse effect, at least in my view.
The common-sense counter-measure is to introduce more sources of news and information, but I'm simply not aware of one that won't use algorithms to dynamically determine the articles I read, introducing an identical variation of the problem.
I suppose I'm in part asking for a software reccomendation: a preferably open source, transparent, non-user-base driven news aggregator, but I also want to know if anyone has larger and more widely-applicable advice.
Thanks so much!
